If you like thin crust pizza, you'll love these super easy Lavash flatbread pizzas! Kids love them and they take only minutes to prepare.

Lavash is a Middle Eastern flatbread, usually in the deli section of your supermarket or you can find it at Trader Joe's. Last week I posted my quick marinara sauce recipe, which is the perfect sauce for these thin crust pizzas. You can either cut the lavash into 4 squares before you add the sauce which will give you crispy edges all around, or you can make one large pizza and cut it after.

A perfect recipe to make with your kids, they will love making their very own pizza, and they can add whatever toppings they like.

With Lavash, you dont need pizza stone.Just put little tom sauce with other stuffing and place it in oven for 350 but watch it bc it gets ready pretty fast. Lavash is v slim bread which is perfect for thin crest pizza,

Wow this looks so good! I've been meaning to find a good low-fat pizza recipe so thanks for that :) May I ask, what's a good alternative to lavash flatbread? Because I don't think I will find it where I live!http://hundreds-n-thousands.blogspot.com/

Hi Gina - Wow! Your website is the absolute best. I just found it this past weekend while looking for WW type recipes. Since Sunday I've made your chicken nuggets, black bean brownies, spinach dip (2x), Avena for this mornings breakfast - wow, that was excellent!, and tonight I'm making your lasagna roll ups. You do such an excellent job - thanks so much for making cooking a new joy instead of a boring job!!!

I LOVE making my pizzas like this. It is a family favorite of ours! My version is only 2pts+ though!! To lower the point value I use Joseph's Low Carb Lavash Bread (Gina, are you close to a Wal-Mart? It is the only place I can find it. It's in the deli/bakery section. It's a whole grain lavash bread with flax seed and other healthy stuff too). Half of a rectangle sheet,which is a big portion,is only 1pts+!!(it's yummy for wraps and other things too) I'm kind of stingy with my points and I find you can't use enough of the mozzarella cheese to get a taste so instead I use 2 TB of low fat ricotta to which I add some italian spices.(It gives a cheesy-like gooeyness to the pizza instead of the mozzarella) I spread that on the bottom of the lavash bread, then top with tomato sauce along with whichever veggies I have on hand(mushrooms, onions, peppers, zucchini, etc). Sprinkle with a little garlic powder. I place it on one of the aluminum pizza pan with the holes all over the bottom so the crust gets crispy (if anyone is having trouble getting the lavash bread crispy you can also try lightly toasting it in the oven for a few minutes before putting all the toppings on). I'll take a lavash pizza over a regular slice of pizza any day...lol! Soooo good!!

I found Joseph's Low Carb Lavash at our local BJ's. I live on the east coast, and BJ's is just like a Costco or Sam's. I found it in the bakery section, and I bought a whole bunch and froze them to use later.

I have also made pizzas with flat-out lite. I have even put it on the grill and it's great!! If we add chicken sausage and cheese you can eat a whole flatout pizza for about opts! It even fills up my husband.

Another suggestion.... Use light flatout flatbreads...Only 2 points plus each. Makes a great pizza. Use 1 Tbs part-skim mozzarella(0 P+) and a 1/4 C. low carb tomato sauce(.5 P+) (Classico Tomato Basil or Gina's quick tomato sauce), lots of veggies=2.5 P+ Excellent! AND you can eat the whole pizza! If you increase the mozz cheese to 2Tbs that makes it 1 P+(for the cheese) Still low points.. The Flatout Flatbreads are available in many stores or on-line. Check out Hungry Girl... :-) Geri

Great to see a lavash bread recipe here. I think I suggested you use it for pizza some time ago. Walmart usually carries the wonderful Joseph's brand of lavash bread, but alas, out walmart has stocked stocking it, and we can't find it in town anymore. Sad. We'd been buying every pack would could find at walmart, but they still stopped selling it. They seem to take away anything that is remotely healthy in favor of heavily processed junk around here. Sadly, we have no other source except the internet.

When we used to make Lavash bread pizza, I used one of those raised cooling racks on top of a baking sheet to prebake the bread, making it nice and crispy all the way through. Then build the pizza, and bake until the cheese is melted.

We've also found lavash to be great for enchilada dishes. We also use them for tacos and similar meals.

This is one of my favorite things! A local fancy restaurant makes a lavash pizza for an appetizer and I always have them change their usual recipe to the exact one you did when they make it for me. Difficult to find lavash here but we have a Trader Joe's coming. I will check Walmart too. Thanks Gina and others for the info!! :)

My hubby and I have been making these for a while and we prefer ours super crunchy so I pre cook the flat breads for 8 mins before layering the toppings. Marinara, mozerella, fresh basil & turkey sausage is our favorite combo.

I often make my flat bread from scratch but I do like the ones from Trader Joes.

Just fixed this for my supper tonight, used your Pasta Sauce on it with the sweet italian turkey sausage in it. OMG...it was so wonderful...and I also used the Joseph`s Lavish which is very wonderful. Fat free mozzarella cheese and it was absolutely completely satisfying. Thanks!!!

After investing in a BAKING STONE and Joseph's Low Carb Lavash I made this last night for my picky eater husband....He LOVED it...He loves thin crust pizza and he said "this was the best pizza he's ever eaten..."This will be a regular in our house. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Gina, my family loves pizza and while I am a pretty good cook, I have never been able to master pizza at home. I have made crust, bought crust, and never had any luck, for years. You have finally solved my dilemma! I made this tonight and my kids and I loved it. Many thanks! I love all of your recipes, but this one is especially great.

Oooh, now this is such a sneaky little recipe! My anti-health food DH could NOT sniff this out for the life of him. He gobbled it up for dinner AND for lunch the next day!

I once heard that the best recipe is one that is flexible, and this is it. For my DH, topped his pizza with hot Italian sausage and pepperoni. For me, I sprinkled my pizza with pineapple and mushrooms.

This is such a yummy treat, it's a great quick lunch for everyone in the house! One suggestion... I like to put the lavash under the broiler for a minute or two then flip it over and add the toppings. It makes for a really crispy crust!

I made this pizza last night ... with Turkey Pepperoni ... and made the skinny cheese sticks to go along with it and it was ABSOLUTELY delicious!! I can't get over how simple and great tasting ... definitely a staple in my cooking now =]

I can't wait to try this recipe! I found Lavash at BJ's (it's like a Costco or Sam's) and I stocked up! I think even my Meatatarian husband would have something like this! With 2 growing and picky boys, this would be just the trick to prevent buying fattening pizza from the store or pizza parlor. Sometimes all it takes to keep them from being picky is letting them put the toppings on!

Pretty sure this recipe just saved my life. I used a modified sauce that I love (saute a chicken sausage link, onion, garlic, kale and whatever other veggies you have left over. Add chopped artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and some diced tomatoes) and sprinkled with cheese. It was perfect!

Coming late to the discussion -- just found this page. We're low-carbers, and I've been using Joseph's lavash to make quesadillas. I was just thinking that I could probably make pizza with them, so googled and found this. Thanks -- sounds perfect! And for anyone still looking for the Joseph's lavash, I wanted to note that you can buy them online at netrition.com.
